You just have that code in Form_Load. The only text it's going to show is text you put into the textbox while in IDE design mode through the properties window.

Yeah, actually I was aware of that, but I've just never done it. And yeah, setting the "Visible" flag is just a redundant way of doing the "Show" or "Hide" methods.

I suppose it's just six-of-one...

Yes, I use the Activate event precisely this way all the time as well. A flag like that isn't "wonky". But, be sure to set the flag to True within the Activate event.

And, the "why" of it is ......

That code also has some major "bankers rounding" issues. Since it's a regular division (using /), it's converting to Double, doing the division, and then converting back to Integer (doing bankers...

VB6s, just to say it, you're making thousands of copies of your arrLines() array, and that's almost certainly your problem. I forget how much stack space you're allocated by default in VB6, but...

To my eyes, it's wildly unclear what you want.

However, here's a wild guess:


Select Case True
Case Instr(sMyString, "¥€%@")
' "¥€%@" is in string, so do work.

Jenniger9, I also agree with with others are saying.

I also do believe that you can just "jump in" when you've got a project (that's clear and well specified). However, for me, to be a good...

Yeah, I knew you had done that. :) But I'd really like to do it as a binary-tree. And yeah, I know hashes are faster. I just really like the intuitiveness of binary-trees. If I get some time,...

This whole thread makes me want to write a self-rolled binary tree key/value class. I'd do it, but the "self-balancing" aspect is a bit daunting to me. The rest is pretty straight-forward stuff.
...

Nice idea. Maybe search the core Windows DLLs and see if you can figure out which one has the list, and then see if there's some API for cross-referencing numbers to names.

However, having said...

Yeah, to beat a dead horse, JimWyseTech, your Mid$(lblWd.Caption, LtrIndex *2,1) piece is just creating a temporary String (BSTR), doing your replacement into that temp String, and then abandoning...

Not toggle. I never got that to work to my satisfaction. However, it can be used (if called before any forms are loaded) as an alternative to the manifest, and only if called once.

For me, that's both true and false.

In a sense, it's quite simple:
If you're not DPI aware, and Windows is set to 100% scaling, then nothing happens. You get pixel-per-pixel scaling.
If...

I can't get to it this second, but I've got some code that does this. I'll post it later, if someone else doesn't beat me to it.

And yeah, I also wouldn't mind knowing what you're trying to...

Only on the actual call to get into whatever member you're calling. If we're not in a loop making calls into the DLL, that's negligible. The compiler optimizations will be the same either way...

Yeah, but Dil, his question was specifically about the return of GetPixel. They are pretty simple in that context. :)

I thought he used that class (i.e., DLL) to get the performance advantages of optimization flags. You still get that with late binding. I use late binding with my smoothing algorithm, and it works...

Boo, I was trying to let him figure that out on his own. :p

Also, we should probably use integer division, so it's not doing a lot of type casting in the expression. Also, that 256 should...

Personally, I think Zvoni had the correct answer, late binding. However, this does require a bit of hoop-jumping, but I've been doing it for years in my main project (used daily in many locations)....

Yeah, just getting back. It looks like you made the change to the wrong API call. I'm assuming you figured that out. ;)

RPG? Rocket Propelled Grenade? Role Play Game? Not sure "COLOR" can be converted to those.

It can be converted to RGB (Red, Green, Blue) though. The low-order byte (of the long) is Red, the...

Also, just to say it, these optimizations are "per compile". What I mean is, if you have an ActiveX DLL, it might have different optimizations than your main program, even if that DLL is used by...

Well, here's my opinion, in bullet points:


The speed at which our CPUs interact with internal registers as well as memory has increased by orders of magnitude since VB6 came out. Therefore,...

Wait, you want a programmatic way to detect if a UDT has a BSTR string, object, and/or dynamic array in it ... without knowing anything about the UDT?

NO, I don't think there's going to be a way...

Ohhh, Dil, you're no fun. :p

Now, regarding OCXs, they're not going to load a second copy of VBA6.DLL (or MSVBVM60.DLL), are they? So, the patch should work across all collections in your...

Ok, the memory pointer always exists ... it's just possibly cached in EAX differently when aliasing vs not. Same rules apply ... none of the above aliasing techniques should be used when using this...

Ok, that makes sense to me. And, if the code is going to do that, we can't use any of the above aliasing techniques when doing this optimization, because a memory pointer might be non-existent.

Here's a bit more of a test, checking the fetching of keys, and it works just fine:



Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim c As New Collection

Ok, I'd like to return to Eduardo's original question, as I personally like Collections.

Pluses:

No dependencies.
Deal with both keyed and non-keyed items.
Self-balancing.
Trivial to...

Just to be quite clear, you'd have to pass it ByRef (the default) to actually get aliasing. Another way to alias a variable is to pass a module-level (or global) variable as an argument.

And I...

Yes, we did answer that question ... any variable length (BSTR) strings, any objects, or any dynamic arrays (as well as Variants with those as well as Variants containing UDTs) will only be pointers...

Good point. The rules are pretty much the same though, dynamic arrays, variable length strings, and objects ... with the addition of TypeLib declared UDTs in the Variants. And, just to say it, a...

@Niya: Ahh, yes, if that's all he wants to know, then yeah. The only thing that puts "pointers" into a UDT are "dynamic arrays", "variable length (BSTR) strings", and objects.

I thought he was...

Ahhh, looks like really good work. :) I see that you broke it up into separate classes for the different variable types.

And you also included a variable-length-string option.

I'm neck-deep...

Code for what? Creating a compressed folder? Right-click the folder, "General" tab, "Advanced" button, "Compress contents to save disk space".

Are you wanting a programmatic way to do that? If...

You could serialize it (through a pipe or just write it to a file) and check the serialized size with the UDT's size.

EDIT: That wouldn't necessarily work though if it had fixed length strings in...

Use your credentials when connecting or logging into your computer maybe? I usually think of the "granting" of permissions as beyond the domain of an end-user application, and managed only by OS...

You could put it into a Windows compressed folder and access it, which is close to the same thing. However, you can't put it into an actual ZIP file and access it without first pulling it out of...

Just to complete the explanation, and because this thread is so strange ... MW, many objects (including controls) have a default property. In the case of command_buttons, the default property is the...
